Step 1 & 4) Here we zoom into a white blood cell, known as a macrophage. When it detects a foreign antigen (protein) a cascade of signals results in the production of proteins that allow the macrophage to change shape and move via taxis between capillary cells in it's hunt for the invader!

Lets break down each of these with... Haiku
Haiku is a type of Japanese poetry. Haiku are short poems that usually describe nature and a fleeting moment in time. an old pond— the sound of a frog jumping into water
Haiku often have a total of 17 syllables and usually have three lines:
1 The first line has five syllables,
2 The second line has seven syllables,
3 The third line has five syllables.
The first two lines of a Haiku are brief observations about the subject of the poem. There is an obvious pause either after line 1 or 2. Then, in the final line, the perspective or voice of the poem shifts, and a comment about the essence of the topic is offered, a point is made, and the heart of the reader is touched.
Haiku, a poem, Five, seven, five syllables. Life frozen in words.
Writing haiku is a powerful way of focusing on a concept and it’s meaning, using words to create images or to tell very brief stories. Students all over the world, from preschools in Japan to MIT graduate students use it as a learning tool.
Watch the videos about cell communication / membrane transport below. Compose a Haiku for each. Use the checklist below to guide you. Write your Haiku in Word, and then copy and paste your Haiku to the page for the appropriate video. Be sure your Haiku is in color and signed with your first name and last initial. 1. Is the Haiku 3 lines? 2. Does the Haiku contain 5 syllables in the first line? 3. Does the Haiku have 7 syllables in the second line? 4. Does the Haiku have 5 syllables in the third line? 5. Is the biological subject obvious? 6. Does the Haiku contain a pause after the first or second line? 7. Does the Haiku bring to mind an image and is not merely a statement of fact? 8. Does the Haiku involve humor or irony (as the best Haiku poems will)?
If you want to get fancy you can write your Haiku on a powerpoint slide along with a picture that reflects the theme. You can export the slide as a JPEG and then upload the picture to the correct Haiku page.
Well. . . my job just got a little easier. Each link below walks you through the steps of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Both are KEY concepts to understand. Visit each link in order and answer the "check for understanding" questions that pop up throughout the tutorial. Get them wrong? Then back the videos up and find the right answers!
